Apparently people think coffee is healthy. Granted, coffee has its place as a stimulant and tasty beverage for some, but to say that it is the best hydrating beverage? People are stupid. It's high in caffeine and you get a dependency on it after prolonged use because of that. Water is the best beverage for hydration. Sorry all you coffee lovers who want to believe this. Coffee is a treat, not a necessary part of your diet. It leaches minerals out of your system. Quit following a pack of lies that conveniently fits your perception of reality. Water hydrates you better than anything, and if you drink Gatorade, coconut water has a natural balance of electrolytes and water to keep you hydrated properly. Looks like we've wasted billions marketing and packaging products with a false promise, that nature gives us and delivers on the actual promise. Go figure.
